Folk of Missouri de livered in his earr.est manner a wtroiiK political sermon lit the lleillironner hall Saturday ni'lit,. The subject of F.x-(iov. Folk's address was "The F,ra of Conscience. " In the beinning of his speech he told of the recent rise of public conscience und of the high standard of political morals. "It has been the growth of a new spirit of patriotism," he said, "for there must be a patriotism of peace as well as that of war. The man who will live for his country every day in the year is the real patriot. Every day duties of civil life demand jusi as much cournue a do the duties of the battlefield. The man who lives his whole life in !inhtiii public evils is the man upon whom the life of the republic rests." However, Kx Gov. rolk stated, many men would be will- inn to fiht'on the battle field who are renly tearing down the republic by loliticnl corruption. As an example le related the following incident: "I was at a banouet in St. l.ouis," be saul, several years airo. Alter the repast all arose and sang the hymn, America. One of the men present stirred hv the voices and music, turned to a neighbor and said, 'Oh, how 1 wish I could die (or mv country.' Three weeks later this same man was kneel ing at the feet of justice because of the part he hail taken in the St. Louis doodling. J he termor graft prosecutor says the great percentage of graft that this country has had to submit to, is caused not because we have so manv dishonest men, but. because the honest ones allow the thing to go on without making any attempt, to put a stop to it. He says: "Any man who is afraid to show his colors is of no bene lit to good government, but the man who dares to strike at. public wrong, no 'matter how small his blows may be, has a character that is effective" for good. A government by the people is the worse form of government we can hao, unless the people can govern thcmscWcs. If every man does not take the part he should take special interests will rule. Every man should make himself one seventy live million th part of a sovereign and take an active part in the n If airs of govern ment. The honesty of our citizens is too often a passive honesty." One of the most interesting parts of the address was the history of the de velopment of graft in StJl.oiiif . The audience was startled by the story of the Imnumcrahle corruptacts that' the municipal legislators of that place attempted to carry out. "They even attempted to sell the court, house for an ollice building, each one to receive a portion of the proceeds of the sale." : said the man who prosecuted them, "and I an attempt was made to sell the insane asylum to a company for a shoe fac i tory. The deed under which the former was purchased prevented them I from carrying out their purpose with .; respect to it, and tho city charter pre vented an alienation of the property of the insane asylum. In ll02 we reached I the climax of corruption in this : n-L ii- ci'iouiy. mi' puiuie conscience was asleep. Politician!) came to think they had a right to receive bribes anil citizens, instead of considering their votes as the property of the nation, to ho used for the best good, sold and bartered them as though they had been the products of labor. The great prob lem of the man who attempted to erad icate such state of affairs was not to prove that graft had taken place but to show to a jury that it was wrong." Thus- who have made great fortunes by means of some special privilege, who have had laws passed for the pur pose of legalizing their undertakings, came in for a share of criticism. American girls who seek notoriety by marrying foreign titles were roundly scored. "It usually takes the daughter of a $."0,000,000 father to secure a titled husband," said the ex-governor, "but If I were to save every cent of my !f.ri,nui salary provided I had the daughter it would take me 10,000 years to accumulate that sum; and then 1 think the daughter would be too old to wed. Yet, if the lady had the money, I do not think the foreign duke or enrl'would he'alfeetod by the age." llefore Ex-Gov. Folk took the matter up during the presidency of Roosevelt, this country had no clauses in their treaties with other countries concern ing the extradition of grafters, pro visions for such have now been made with Mexico and the Netherlands. Congress balked on taking the matter flirt her. Ex Gov. Folk arrived in this city Saturday afternoon on the :i:2;i train from The Dalles. He spent the after noon touring the Valley by automobile, lie h it early Sunday morning to be the guest of' Portland for the day, go ing from there to Seattle where he lectured Monday night. HEIGHTS NEWS E. VV. Dark has erected it carpenter shop on the lot recently purchased by him from the Woodmen. He will in stall modern wood working equipment in his new quarters. The Curfew ordinance is now being enforced on tho Heights. Officer Stone rings the new bell at the Baptist church each night at o'clock. The people of the Heights were very much disturbed Monday night because of lack of tire protection. Throughout tho whole night they were without water. The Heights' Fire Department will hold a social Friday night at tho new llohnan hall. A program and refresh ments will be provided. A collection will bo charged and the proceeds will go toward the building of a house for tho tiro lighting apparatus. The school girls of the eighth grade who are members of Miss Monroe's Sunday school class were delightfully entertained at the Monroe home Satur day afternoon. An egg hunt was participated in, after which delicious refreshments were served. Heights Defeated hy One Score. The Meier & Frank baseball team, of Portland, defeated the Heights team at the Columbia Park grounds Sunday afternoon by the close score of to ii. The home boys played in hard luck. They made S hits, one more than the visitors, but were unable to bunch them. The line up of the local was as follows: Hall, c; Hart, p; Shoemaker, 1st b; K.

Owing to the failure of the Dun bar Company to appear and no other company being sent to replace them, it was felt that a good concert was needed this season. The Baraca boys have taken it upon themselves to have the Cartwright Company of Chicago stop here for an open date while enroute to Spokane. While this is the first tour for this company of the Pacific states, it will sudice to state that they travel under their own special managers and not for lyceums and com mand top-notch prices. The stop here is made to fill in an open date and for advertising purposes (they have heard of Hood Uiver) and the prices will be as usual. Rev. Henry Wilder Foote to Lecture. The Hev.

He represents the American Unitarian Association, and is secretary of that body.

Montgomery and Charles Wheeler, who have been the popular hosts of a number of assembly parties this season have issued invita tions for a dance to celebrate the apple blossom season. The assembly will be held in the Heilbronner hall on the evening of April 29. Camas Drainage Case at End. The Camas Prairie, Wash., drainage case which has been fought out for the past several years in the Klickitat county courts has finally been settled, and will culminate in the drainage of 6,000 acres of land in that district. Prof. Thatcher, of the Washington Agricultural College at Pullman, who has investigated the soil of the region to be drained, has pronounced it to be of as good quality as any other soil in the Northwest. Camas Prarie is 20 miles north of Underwood and extends from Laurel to Glenwood, a distance of 10 miles. K. E. Duncan and a num ber of other Hood River people are interested in property there. "POISON OAK" TIME IS HERE. A Simple Reward Has Been Found, How ever, Which Stops the Itch. Poison oak can now be cured quite easily. A simple liquid wash, composed mostly of oil of wintergreen, combined with other healing ingredients, has been used with a good deal of success. This remedy, D. D. D. Prescription, became known first because of the cures it accomplished in eczema and other diseases of the same general nature. When used for "Poison Oak" it dries up the watery postules, drives away the red, flaming spots, and returns the skin to its normal condition. Tne itch stops instantly. We vouch for the great eczema rem edy, D. D. D. Prescription, and would certainly not recommend, it for "poison oak" if we did not know what it would do. A trial bottle only 25c. Keir & Cass.
